Miscellaneous Monday

I can't count how many times I've had something come up that I want to share on my blog but once I start typing it out, I realize that there's really not enough content to deserve a whole post dedicated to it. Because of this, miscellaneous monday has been born.

Fall is by far my favorite season of the year. Especially here in New England. The trees are populated with radiant reds, oranges & yellows. The days are perfect at a cool 78 degress and the nights are crisp and cold, perfect weather for cuddling up with a blanket on the couch sipping hot cocoa.

With fall comes apple picking. Each year we try to check out a new orchard. This year was Macks in Londonderry. Bring on the apple crisp!

September is always a busy month, but this year it was especially busy. We had my b-day, Adam's b-day, our anniversary, an over-night in Mohegan Sun for my BFF's bachelorette party, a big 30th b-day bbq for a good friend of ours, and a wedding to attend for aforementioned BFF in which I was the photographer for. Phew, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Adam surprised me with a dinner date night and Cirque du Solei tickets this past Saturday (is he the best of what?). The show was unbelievable and we left with our jaws on the floor. To say it was incredible is an understatement. We've been before but it was a few years ago and a different show at the time. This was by far was the best we've seen. KOOZA!!!

Did you hear about the new Canon 5d Mark II being released?! It looks incredible! I'm hoping to get my hot little hands on one sometime in the near future.

I'm in search for the perfect halloween costume for Little A. I had my eye on the Tom Arma ones last year but waited to long to order and her size was sold out of all my faves. This year I'm ordering sooner than later. I'm considering the Monarch butterfly since monarch butterflies hold a special place in our heart. There's way too many cute ones to choose from. What's your fave?

I've had a great response to my Holiday Mini Sessions. I have only 4 more dates open for the entire year! If you're planning on booking a mini (or any session for that matter), I suggest you do it soon. Dates are filling up quickly!

It's that time of year: HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS are here!

Yes, I know it may seem early but in the photography world, it's the beginning of the holiday rush.

This will be the first year I offer holiday mini sessions. These are great for those of you who are looking to get your hands on some gorgeous high quality custom holiday cards and pick up a few print as gifts for the grandparents.

These sessions are limited and are sure to fill up quick. Send me an email and book your holiday mini today!

Out of the office

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am currently out of the office until Tuesday 8/26. I had a few issues earlier in the week while attempting to set my out of office within my email due to a calendar issue so this is the best way to get the message out to everyone for the time being. Thanks!

I know, I'm behind on blogging

But I'm just about caught up on work so that's got to count for something right?

All the lovely rain we've been having has led to many double & triple session days, which in turn has led to many long nights of proofing marathons. Man, I love what I do!
And what do you know, the forecast for the weekend is calling for...you guessed it, more rain.

I have a bunch of cute clients to share as well as a bucket-load of Little A pics. Is it pathetic that I feel bad when I go for more than a week without blogging?

Brides get even too

For those of you who do not know about my current project that is in the works, the title of this post is sure to confuse you. But until the new site is rolled out, consider it a hint.

I had a great session a few weeks ago with Micaela. She was a blast to shoot and was totally up for anything. I LOVE THAT!

Check out the slideshow below and see what I mean.

*And don't forget to turn your speakers up LOUD!*



Edited to add: I tried embedding the slideshow but it wouldn't embed. Use this link in the meantime:

Raspberry picking

We went Raspberry picking this past weekend at Parlee Farm in Tyngsboro. It's a great little PYO farm with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries & fresh flowers. It also has a few farm animals with feeding stations for the kids.
I absolutely love picking fresh fruit. Little A on the other hand could care less about picking the fruit and was more interested in the tiny flowers on the ground that were much more accessible to her.



And would you check out the look of death she gives me now whenever I point my camera in her face! It went from her not looking at me, to her running in the opposite direction, and now the dirty eyebrow. What's next?

New wheels

My little baby's growing up.

About 3 weeks ago we bought her her 1st tricycle and she's been obsessed with it ever since!
Each day consists of at least 1 cruise around the cul-de-sac which typically takes about 20 mins. We go. We stop. We get off. We make sure we collect enough sticks to build a nest. We neatly pile aforementioned sticks in the trunk. We hop back on for another 5 feet. Wash, rinse, repeat.
